2 swimmers missing in Philly-area creek identified

TREVOSE, Pa.—Authorities have identified two swimmers missing in a Philadelphia-area creek, and they say the efforts of emergency crews are now likely a recovery effort rather than a rescue effort.

Officials in Bucks County say 18-year-old Dan Tadrzynski and 19-year-old Perry Krewson of Bensalem went swimming in the rain-swollen Neshaminy Creek late Tuesday night and were swept away by rough currents. A teenager who was with them managed to get to shore and call for help.

Rescue crews searched overnight and resumed the effort Wednesday morning with diving and marine units. Late Wednesday afternoon, officials announced that the search area was being extended.

Bensalem Township public safety director Fred Harran says he hopes these and other recent events will help teenagers realize the dangers of swimming in creeks and rivers.
